About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as a delivery driver unloaded crates of vegetables, he swore he heard someone whispering in Cantonese behind him. Turning around, there was no one there—just an empty aisle and the hum of refrigerators. Curious, he peered down another aisle and thought he saw a shadow move past the produce section. Deciding it was his imagination playing tricks, he went back outside only to find that his truck’s doors were ajar—and wide open stood a cart filled with watermelons, their red skins glowing like lanterns in the early-morning light.
2. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, an early bird shopper noticed something odd. As she pushed her cart down the aisle, she kept hearing soft laughter coming from the produce section. Curious, she slowed down and peered into the shadows. To her surprise, a small rabbit emerged, nibbling on some lettuce leaves. She smiled, thinking it was just another quirky morning at 99 Ranch Market. Turns out, the ‘odd’ soundtrack was provided by their resident bunny, who loved helping customers find fresh produce.
3. On a chilly autumn morning, while most people were still asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock. As he began unloading boxes of fresh produce, he felt a sudden chill and looked around suspiciously. Was it just the breeze, or did someone whisper ‘bananas’ in Cantonese? Curious, he turned his head—and saw only empty aisles stretching into the dimly lit store. Just as he was about to dismiss it as his imagination, something rustled behind him. Startled, he spun around to find an old lady smiling warmly with a basket full of bananas. ‘Ah, you’re here early today,’ she said softly in Cantonese. The delivery driver relaxed, realizing it was just another busy morning at 99 Ranch Market.
4. At dusk, when most markets close their doors, a delivery driver noticed a strange glow coming from one of the refrigerated aisles. Curious, he peered inside and found nothing but rows upon rows of glowing vegetables—all perfectly arranged, as if someone had turned on the LEDs in the produce section. Turning around, he saw an old man smiling gently from behind a carton of oranges. ‘Just checking everything’s fresh,’ said the stranger with a twinkle in his eye. The delivery driver shook his head and smiled, thinking it was just another quirky moment in the mysterious world of Asian supermarkets.
